"Does Brad have or drive a 914"? I have never seen a pic either just the silver wife's car.

#2. when is geoff going to get his adj. koni's? so i don't have to listen to him whine about how hard his ride is.

Hey they are adjustable! Old school koni's where you take the damn shock out to "adjust" it. I am soo lazy the Kuhmo's were still on the car from the autox. I loaned a set of Boge gas shocks to Joe cuz he also needs a set of Koni's. His shocks were toast like Chris R MPS.
What I am really needing is the alignment shims!!! 4 4mm ones. I have got to get this POS car aligned soon. I guess I have to kick some ass when I come down next week for the swapmeet
Geoff
HA! I just passed Andy into third place again.

Posted by: krk Apr 20 2003, 10:07 AM

Oh, I know Larissa's silver car quite well. Actually, I shot that pic from the roof of my house.

Brad has a whole shop full of 914's. He has a full tube frame GT-2 car, a 914-6 that he is putting together, his wife's silver 914, a few customers 914 that are always around, and a bunch of parts. I am buying that 2.3L motor for my 912 from him.

Here is a pic of the tube frame GT-2.

The tubecar doesn't drive on the street! That doesn't count and the 914/6 blue car is Mueller's.

I would have thought the #1 Question would have been " Geoff where are the 914world.com stickers????"

Geoff,

You may pass Jeroen soon, too!

Posted by: rhodyguy Apr 20 2003, 11:19 AM

craig, the stickers went in short order. believe me, you didn't have to ask.

Posted by: Bleyseng Apr 20 2003, 11:22 AM

Craig, Call Bruce Albert up, I send a few down with him. I was pretty well cleaned out of what I brought with everybody buying 'em including the 911 guys.
Geoff

Posted by: boxstr Apr 20 2003, 11:40 AM

Hey 911 guys, I thought the 914 group would have first shot at those.
Bruce, If you are out there email me. I would like to get a sticker or two.Thanks
Maybe I will check ebay.

I sell the cars quickly. It wouldnt do any good to post what I own here...LOL

Geoff has seen "my" car.

I work on other peoples rides so much.. I dont have time for my own... nor the parking at the house.

And he never is lacking for a 914 to drive. How many of us 914 "owners" don't or can't drive their cars? I'd say he's ahead of the game.

Posted by: Brad Roberts Apr 20 2003, 12:51 PM

Jon just made me think (lookout)

I have been to all of the Roadglue events in a 914(except when Jenny wrecked her car this year). I made several SoCal events with a 914... I made the MUSR in TEXAS with a 914 (from SF). I do manage to find something to drive. Most of the time people ask me to drive their cars and tell them what is wrong with them. LOL

Posted by: Bleyseng Apr 20 2003, 01:04 PM

So then you are in the "wannabe club" with Kevin,Jenny,DD,Korijo,Jeroen...damn big list.
Geoff

Posted by: Brad Roberts Apr 20 2003, 01:06 PM

What makes you think I even want a 914 ??? LOL

B

Posted by: Bleyseng Apr 20 2003, 01:21 PM

Why? I have seen your daily driver!!

Posted by: Brad Roberts Apr 20 2003, 01:28 PM

1.2 miles to shop from the house. Truck goes 2 weeks on a tank of gas even if I leave everyday for lunch.

I'll reveal my car (one day)

Posted by: Bleyseng Apr 20 2003, 06:01 PM

Like I said, "wannabe club" member you and DD, Jenny, Kevin........

Posted by: seanery Apr 20 2003, 06:04 PM

my 2 cents...

...having a 914 race car counts!

Posted by: Bleyseng Apr 20 2003, 07:48 PM

When I was there last it wasn't running either.....
Geoff

Posted by: seanery Apr 20 2003, 07:50 PM

HAHA....still counts though!!

Posted by: Bleyseng Apr 20 2003, 08:07 PM

That's how you get in the "wanna be" club, by having a non-runner. Like Dave Darling, Jenny, Korijo, Kevin, the list goes on....

Posted by: seanery Apr 20 2003, 08:15 PM

yeah, but are you really in that club if you DO have a runner (like me, or say, Brad (wife))?

Posted by: Bleyseng Apr 20 2003, 08:20 PM

That's debatable, but I thought that it was Larissa's car.
Kevin has 3 cars all apart.
Jeroen has one car all apart
Jenny's is .....
Dave Darling's hasn't run is 3 years
Brad is getting the tube car running last he posted.
Being a wannabe isn't all bad, you save on gas cuz you have one less car to drive.

Geoff
Oh, BTW, I was one for over 2 years while my car sat in storage and got rusty.

Posted by: Britain Smith Apr 20 2003, 08:31 PM

I wonder where I fit in...

I want to get a 914 to race.

I have a 912 that will soon get a type-IV motor.

Questions to ponder...

Posted by: seanery Apr 20 2003, 08:34 PM

I think Geoff forgot to add you to the list....

Posted by: Bleyseng Apr 20 2003, 08:38 PM

yup,

Posted by: Bleyseng Apr 20 2003, 08:39 PM

Hey, Mueller just got off the list recently. He was a long timer too.

Posted by: seanery Apr 20 2003, 08:45 PM

Isn't ginter on the list now?

Posted by: rhodyguy Apr 20 2003, 08:46 PM

wrong again mr social co-ordinator. 4. a little more fuel for your tirades.

kevin

Posted by: Bleyseng Apr 20 2003, 08:48 PM

Oh Yeah, that other one hiding in the roadies, rusting away.. hehe

Yup, Ginters on the list too. Looks like he will be on it a long time too.
Geoff

Posted by: rhodyguy Apr 20 2003, 08:52 PM

well that does it! no more posting for me. atleast until i get my engine compartment painted (the next hurdle). i'm just so... humiliated

kevin

Posted by: seanery Apr 20 2003, 08:54 PM

What did I read earlier about the "guy in the Jetta".....

Posted by: seanery Apr 20 2003, 08:56 PM

Hey Geoff, our trivial nagging/bickering about wannabee's has pushed us into the #2 & #3 posters! HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHA

Posted by: Gint Apr 20 2003, 08:59 PM

aww, now that's just wrong.

I will not be shamed into buying a running 914...

I will not be shamed into buying a running 914...

I will not be shamed into buying a running 914...

I will not....

Posted by: seanery Apr 20 2003, 09:05 PM

I know of a black and a gray 6 for sale

Posted by: krk Apr 20 2003, 09:16 PM

Hm. Does Ginter get points for reconstituting a /6 from a couple of door panels, some fuchs and a VIN? (yeh, I know -- it's orange, but still, you'd think he'd get *some* slack....:-)

Posted by: Bleyseng Apr 20 2003, 09:19 PM

Atleast something good is coming out of this nonsense plus maybe Kevin will go work on his car for once.
Geoff

Posted by: Brad Roberts Apr 20 2003, 11:46 PM

Tube car runs great. We where waiting on the new TECIII to show up. Installed it... loaded the program from the TECII and it fired right off. The car was raced 2 weekends ago at Thunderhill.

Mueller is back on the list... no engine in his car.. however his 6 does run and drive. I drive it every day..LOL

Posted by: Bleyseng Apr 21 2003, 09:23 AM

I guess that's one way to stay off the list, use other peoples cars!
We should have DD tow his car to the swap meet so we have something to work on all day.
Geoff

Posted by: boxstr Apr 21 2003, 09:46 AM

Hey Jamie Rust doe's that. Anxious to see what he has on his trailer when we show up at Keiths to christen his new lift.

Posted by: Bleyseng Apr 21 2003, 07:28 PM

Nope just lots of BS to pass along. I thought you were coming to Seattle?
Geoff

Posted by: SirAndy Apr 21 2003, 09:16 PM

yeah, i was planning on it.
but then shannon couldn't get the timing right to be in seattle for biz (has moved 2 weeks) and i was (am) eager to get my car running ...

Posted by: Bleyseng Apr 21 2003, 10:38 PM
